Current theory is able to predict the Casimir force between macroscopic bodies with an accuracy only limited by the knowledge of the material parameters. Yet surprisingly after almost 70 years of research, while theory describes the Casimir…
The present paper - a continuation of our recent series of papers on Casimir friction for a pair of particles at low relative particle velocity - extends the analysis so as to include dense media. The situation becomes in this case more…

Depending on the point of view, the Casimir force arises from variation in the energy of the quantum vacuum as boundary conditions are altered or as an interaction between atoms in the materials that form these boundary conditions. Standard…

We calculate exactly the Casimir force between a spherical particle and a plane, both with arbitrary dielectric properties, in the non-retarded limit. Using a Spectral Representation formalism, we show that the Casimir force of a sphere…
We derive exact expressions for the Casimir scalar interaction energy between media-separated eccentric dielectric cylinders and for the media-separated cylinder-plane geometry using a mode-summation approach. Similarly to the…
We report on the measurement of the Casimir force between conducting surfaces in a parallel configuration. The force is exerted between a silicon cantilever coated with chromium and a similar rigid surface and is detected looking at the…
We study the lateral Casimir force experienced by a particle that rotates near a planar surface. The origin of this force lies in the symmetry breaking induced by the particle rotation in the vacuum and thermal fluctuations of its dipole…
The Casimir effect is considered for a wedge with opening angle $\alpha $, with perfectly conducting walls, when the interior region is filled with an isotropic and nondispersive medium with permittivity $\epsilon $ and permeability $\mu $.…
The Casimir force between dissipative metallic mirrors at non zero temperature has recently given rise to contradictory claims which have raised doubts about the theoretical expression of the force. In order to contribute to the resolution…
A perfectly reflecting (Dirichlet) boundary condition at the edge of an impenetrable magnetic-flux-carrying tube of nonzero transverse size is imposed on the charged massive scalar matter field which is quantized outside the tube. We show…
The Casimir force is calculated analytically for configurations of two parallel plates and a spherical lens (sphere) above a plate with account of nonzero temperature, finite conductivity of the boundary metal and surface roughness. The…

We extend a fictitious-cavity approach to calculate the Casimir effect for cavities bounded by flat anisotropic materials. We calculate the energy, force and torque in terms only of the optical coefficients of the walls of the cavity. We…
